AR-15 type rifles are known for their ability to be accessorized. The Ballista Nautilus Rotating Rail allows you to change the position of any of your rail-mounted accessories in 45-degree increments. If you put an accessory on the bottom of a rail and you need it to be on the side, with the Ballista you can easily change that position. Made of high-grade aircraft aluminum, the Ballista NRR is well-made, durable and light. It can be a benefit in many different scenarios in both the competition/sporting world and the tactical/home defense environment.

Matt, it is heavier than many other rails, but shouldn’t prevent the use of any specific accessory. Ballista also just released a second design which is lighter and only has ONE section that runs the full length of the fore-end.

Deryck Poole discusses his journey to becoming a defensive shooting instructor. While the process is different for everyone, Deryck’s experience has aspects that are very common for those who become successful teachers.

Student alert! If your defensive firearms instructor is not giving you an integrated system of firearm manipulation techniques but rather a set of unconnected techniques that don't integrate well together, don't reinforce each other, and don't contribute to your efficiency by being consistent with one another, you need to challenge those techniques.

Rob Pincus and Deryck Poole work with a student to develop the ability to train realistically for multiple threats. Too often, students on the range just swing between targets instead of training to break their focus on the first threat and truly assess their environment to find and engage any other threats.
